JOSE STERN — formerly Joseph Stern, until he discovered he was 1/8th Mexican — is on the precipice of turning 40. Going on 75. He and his band, The Borges, have been relegated to playing childrens’ birthday parties. He was always a little miserable. Now he’s very miserable. Thankfully, he has in essence the perfect woman to balance him. DUSTY, his fiance, is a warm, beautiful, laid back, supportive, veterinarian. She is the Yin to his Yang. That is, until she discovers a old secret of Jose and kicks him out and into the warm bosom of his falling-apart-at-the-seams-married-with-children friends’ home , where he spends the rest of film seeking counsel from his burnt out friends, dates an insane ex-girlfriend, and sorts through his past, all in an effort to find himself… and perhaps Dusty.—anonymous
Whilst talking to Dusty in bed, the left side of Jose’s nasal strip loses its adhesiveness and comes loose. In the next scene, when Jose gets out of bed, the right side of the nasal strip is seen to have come loose instead.
